Book
Tim Gunn's Fashion Bible and Stacy London's The Truth About Style. So good.
Music
Fly Me to The Moon- Julie London. Actually, this song in every incarnation and also everything Julie London.
Perfume
I'm obviously on a tuberose kick. Tonight I'm wearing Cedre, but really, I'm all about Andy Tauer's Loretta since I got the sample.
Makeup
Light shimmery eye shadows on the middle of the lid, with little else to detract from the sparkle.
Frequently Worn
Turquoise necklace with gray cashmere anything. Also, assorted vintage bangles and bracelets.
Food
My own pink vodka sauce.
Guilty Pleasure
Paul Rudd.
Bane
Feline health issues. Peter is having a minor surgery on Tuesday and is also getting his teeth cleaned.
Joy
The husband and I went to see The Perks Of Being A Wallflower last night. Loved it (and hence Paul Rudd above).
Anticipation
Spending time with nieces and nephews.
Wishlist
Other than being after Peter's surgery? Just about any Victoria Beckham dress. I'm in love with the impeccable and smart construction.
Random Thought
I never ever envied the late Princess Diana, even when I was a kid and she was the most beautiful princess in the world (Disney didn't have that many of them back then); but I'd like to be the Duchess of Cambridge for one day just to see what it's like.
How are you doing? Please share your loves, banes, thoughts and recommendations!

I identify with you on both counts of Paul Rudd. I also caught him on Broadway with Michael Shannon (Grace, if you ever have the chance, watching them perform live is something else) and gushed at him after the show because i'm a fangirl like that

I agree with your choice of the Duchess of Cambridge in that she had a lot more time to prepare for her role and she has the support and love of her husband.
ReplyDeleteMay your sweet kitty come thru everything with flying colors, be well and feel good!

ReplyDeleteMusic: Midnight Syndicate and Nox Arcana--I'm editing our Halloween mix :-)
